‘DELHI’ so that each word has to start with D and end with I?

(a) 24 (b) 18 (c) 12 (d) 6

Answer D

Explaination:

Correct option is (d) 6 First letter of each word is D and last letter of each work is I. So, number of ways of arrange
first and last letter of the word = 1 Remaining letter = 3. Remaining 3 letters arrange at 3 positions in 3P3 3! = 3 × 2 ×
1 = 6 ways.

Q2. A bottle contains 20 litres of liquid A. 4 litres of liquid A is taken out of it and replaced by same quantity of liquid
B. Again 4 litres of the mixture is taken out and replaced by same quantity of liquid B. What is the ratio of quantity of
liquid A to that of liquid B in the final mixture?

(a) 4 : 1 (b) 5 : 1 (c) 16 : 9 (d) 17 : 8

Correct option is (c) 16:9

A bottle contains 20 litres of liquid A. After removing 4 L of liquid A and adding 4 L of liquid B. Mixture become this
way. 16 L of A and 4 L of B ⇒ A = 16/20 and B = 4/20 Now again 4 L of mixture is taken out and 4 L of liquid B is
added.

⇒ A : B = [16 – (16/20 × 4)] : [4 – (4/20 × 4) + 4] ⇒ A : B = 16× [1 – (1/5)] : 4 × [2 – (1/5)] ⇒ A : B = 16 × 4/5 : 4 × 9/5

⇒ A : B = 16 : 9 ∴ The ratio of quantity of liquid A to that of liquid B in the final mixture is 16 : 9.

Q3. The average score of a batsman after his 50th innings was 46.4. After 60th innings, his average score increases by
2.6. What was his average score in the last ten innings?

(a) 122 (b) 91 (c) 62 (d) 49

Correct option is (c) 62 Total runs scored by the batsman in 50 innings = 50 × 46.4 = 2320. Total runs scored by the
batsman in 60 innings = 60 × (46.4 + 2.6) = 2940. Total runs scored in last 10 innings = 2940 - 2320 = 620. Average
score in last 10 innings = 620/10 = 62.

Q4. As a result of 25% hike in the price of rice per kg, a person is able to purchase 6 kg less rice for Rs. 1,200. What
was the original price of rice per kg?

(a) Rs. 30 (b) Rs. 40 (c) Rs. 50 (d) Rs. 60

Correct option is (b) 40 Expenditure = Rs. 1,200 Change in price = 25% increases Change in quantity = 6 kg less
bought Let the person bought x kg of rice in Rs. 1,200 Now, hike in price is 25% ⇒ New price = 1200 × (125/100) =
1500 Hike lead to reduce the quantity (x -6) kg Difference of Rs. 300 is equalt to difference in quantiy 6 kg ⇒ 6 kg =
300 ⇒ 1 kg = 50 Rs. 50 is hikes priced and orginal price is asked. ⇒ 125% = 50 ⇒ 100% = 50 × (100/125) = 40 ∴ The
original price of rice per kg was Rs. 40.

Q5. A person X can complete 20% of work in 8 days and another person Y can complete 25% of the same work in 6
days. If they work together, in how many days will 40% of the work be completed?

(a) 6 (b) 8 (c) 10 (d) 12

Correct option is (a) 6 X can complete 20% of work in 8 days. So, X can complete 100% of work in 8 x 5 = 40 days.
Again, Y can complete 25% of work in 6 days. So, Y can complete 100% of work in 6 x 4 = 24 days Time required to
complete whole work by working together = 40 × 24 40 + 24 40 × 24 40 + 24 = 40 × 24 64 40 × 24 64 = 15 days.
Now, time required to complete 40% of the work = 40 100 × 15 40 100 × 15 = 6 days.

Q6. A car travels from a place X to place Y at an average speed of v km/hr, from Y to X at an average speed of 2v
km/hr, again from X to Y at an average speed of 3v km/hr and again from Y to X at an average speed of 4v km/hr.
Then the average speed of the car for the entire journey

(a) is less than v km/hr (b) lies between v and 2v km/hr (c) lies between 2v and 3v km/hr (d) lies between 3v and 4v
km/hr

Correct Answer - Option 2 : lies between v and 2v km/hr Given: Trip one X to Y with the speed of v km/h Trip one Y to
X with the speed of 2v km/h Trip one X to Y with the speed of 3v km/h Trip one Y to X with the speed of 4v km/h

Formula used: Average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation: Let the distance between X and Y is a km Total distance covered = 4a ⇒ time = distance/speed Time is
taken on the first trip ⇒ time = a/v Time is taken on the second trip ⇒ time = a/2v Time is taken on the third trip ⇒
time = a/3v Time is taken on the fourth trip ⇒ time = a/4v Total time = (a/v) + (a/2v) + (a/3v) + (a/4v) ⇒ (12a + 6a +
4a + 3a)/12v = 25a/12v Average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken ⇒ 4a/(25a/12v) = 48v/25 ⇒ Average
speed = 1.92v km/h ∴ Average speed of the car lies between v km/h and 2v km/h.

Q7. A man takes half time in rowing a certain distance downstream than upstream. What is the ratio of the speed in
still water to the speed of current? (a) 1 : 2 (b) 2 : 1 (c) 1 : 3 (d) 3 : 1

Correct option is (d) 3:1 Let the speed of the boat in still water is x km/h And the speed of the stream is y km/h. ⇒
Downstream = (x + y) km/h ⇒ Upstream = (x - y) km/h Ratio of time downstream : upstream = 1 : 2 Ratio of speed
downstream : upstream = 2 : 1 ⇒ (x + y) : (x - y) = 2 : 1 ⇒ x + y = 2x - 2y ⇒ x = 3y ⇒ x/y = 3/1 Speed of the boat in still
water : Speed of stream = 3 : 1

Q8. How many pairs of natural numbers are there such that the difference of whose squares is 63? (a) 3 (b) 4 (c) 5 (d)
2
Correct option is (a) 3 Let the numbers be x and y, where x > y According to question. ⇒ x2 - y2 = 63 ⇒ (x + y)(x - y) =
63 Factore of 63 are (63, 1), (21, 3) and (9, 7) There will be 3 pairs whose square difference is 63. The numbers will
be ⇒ x + y = 63 ⇒ x - y = 1 So, pair one will be x = 32 and y = 31 ⇒ x + y = 9 ⇒ x - y = 7 So, pair one will be x = 8 and y
= 1. ∴ Three pairs of natural number whose difference of square is 63.

Q9. Which one of the following will have minimum change in its value if 5 is added to both numerator and the
denominator of the fractions 2/3, 3/ 4, 4/5 and 5/6? (a) 2/3 (b) 3/4 (c) 4/5 (d) 5/6

Correct Answer - Option (d) : 5 / 6 Given: Fractions are given 2/3, 3/4, 4/5 and 5/6 Calculation: ⇒ 2/3 = 0.667 ⇒ (2 +
5)/(3 + 5) = 7/8 = 0.875 Change = 0.875 - 0.667 = 0.208 ⇒ 3/4 = 0.75 ⇒ (3 + 5)/(4 + 5) =8/9 = 0.89 Change = 0.89 -
0.75 = 0.14 ⇒ 4/5 = 0.8 ⇒ (4 + 5)/(5 + 5) = 9/10 = 0.9 Change = 0.9 - 0.8 = 0.1 ⇒ 5/6 = 0.84 ⇒ (5 + 5)/(6 + 5) = 10/11 =
0.9 Change = 0.9 - 0.84 = 0.06 ∴ 5/6 will show minimum change when 5 is added to both numerator and the
denominator.

Q10. A digit n > 3 is divisible by 3 but not divisible by 6. Which one of the following is divisible by 4? (a) 2n (b) 3n (c)
2n + 4 (d) 3n + 1

Correct Answer (d) - Given that n is a digit greater than 3. It is divisible by 3 but not divisible by 6.

Let n = 9

Checking the options:

2n = 2 × 9 = 18, which is not divisible by 4.

3n = 3 × 9 = 27, which is not divisible by 4.

2n + 4 = 2 × 9 + 4 = 22, which is not divisible by 4.

3n + 1 = 3 × 9 + 1 = 28, which is divisible by 4.

Q20. A, B, C, and D are moving on a circular track in the same direction. All started running simultaneously and from
the same point such that the ratio of their speeds is [Link]. At how many distinct points any two of them will meet.

A. 1
B. 2
C. 4
D. 8

Answer: C

Explanation:

There would be 4C2 = 6 different combination taking two at a time. Let’s take them one by one.

A and B:

The speeds are in the simplest form and number of distinct points they meet = 2-1 = 1.

A and C:

The speeds are in the simplest form and number of distinct points they meet = 3-1 = 2.

A and D:

The speeds are in the simplest form and number of distinct points they meet = 4-1 = 3.

B and C:

The speeds are in the simplest form and number of distinct points they meet = 3-2 = 1.

B and D:

The speeds are NOT in the simplest form. To reduce the same into simplest form, we will take their simplest ratio. i.e.
2 : 4 = 1:2. Therefore, number of distinct points they meet = 2-1 = 1.

And finally C and D:

The speeds are in the simplest form and number of distinct points they meet = 4-3 = 1.

We know that the last meeting point will always be at the starting point. So when any two of them meet only for one
time that will be at the starting point only.

When they meet for the two times, one will be at the starting point and other at a point diametrically opposite to
starting point. Similarly, when they meet for three times, one will be at the starting point and rest two points will be
at 120 degrees with the starting point.

Hence in total, they will meet at FOUR distinct points.

Q36. A watch, which gains uniformly is 2 min slow at noon on Monday and is 4 min, 48s fast at 2 pm on the following
Monday. At what time it was correct?

a) 2 pm on Tuesday

b) 2 pm on Wednesday

c) 3 pm on Thursday

d) 1 pm on Friday

Answer: B

Time from Monday noon (12 pm) to 2 pm the following Monday = 7 days 2 h = 170 h

Now, the watch gains (2 + 4 4/5) min from Monday (12 pm) to 2 pm,
the following Monday. In other words, the watch gains 34/5 min in 170 h.

Therefore, it will gain 2 min in (170 × 5/34 × 2) = 50 h = 2 days 2 h

Therefore, the watch is correct after 2 days 2 h from Monday noon or at 2 pm Wednesday.

statement is not correct ?

A. Robert is not at the left end.

B. Robert is in between Simon and Taud.
C. Taud is in between Paul and Jack.
D. There are three persons to the right of Paul.

Answer: C

Let's break down the information step by step:

Jack is not the neighbour of Simon.

Harry is just to the left of Larry.

→ (Harry, Larry) is a fixed pair.

There is at least one to the left of Larry.

→ Larry is not the first person.

Paul lives in one of the two middle houses.

→ Paul is in position 4 or 5.

Mike lives between Paul and Larry.

→ The order is (Paul, Mike, Larry) or (Larry, Mike, Paul).

At least one person lives to the right of Robert.

→ Robert is not the last person.

Harry is not between Taud and Larry.

By Analyzing the options:

Robert is not at the left end – Correct (since there’s someone to his right).
Robert is in between Simon and Taud – Possibly based on placement.
Taud is in between Paul and Jack – This cannot be true because Mike must be between Paul and Larry, leaving no
room for Taud.
There are three persons to the right of Paul – Possible if Paul is in position 4.
So, The incorrect statement is: "Taud is in between Paul and Jack".

There are three houses on each side of the road. These six houses are labeled as P, Q, R, S, T, and U. The houses are
of different colors, namely, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, and White. The houses are of different heights.

 T, the tallest house, is exactly opposite to the Red-colored house.

 The shortest house is exactly opposite to the Green colored house.

 U, the Orange colored house, is located between P and S.

 R, the Yellow-colored house, is exactly opposite to P.

 Q, the Green colored house, is exactly opposite to U.

 P, the white-colored house, is taller than R, but shorter than S and Q.

Q41. What is the color of the tallest house?

A. Q
B. S
C. T
D. U

Answer : C

Q42. How many houses are taller than the house R?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer: D
Solution:

 From the given information the tallest house is T and it is opposite to the Red-colored house. and the
Shortest house is exactly opposite to the Green colored house.

 The color of the house U is Orange and it is situated between P and S. It implies that houses P, S, and U are
on one side of the road and the other three houses, namely, Q, R, and T are on another side of the road. P, S,
and U can be placed in two ways. One way is {P, U, S}, and another way is {S, U, P}.

 The color of the house R is Yellow and it is opposite to P.

 The color of the house Q is Green and it is opposite of U. The shortest house is exactly opposite to
the Green colored house it means the shortest house is U.

 The remaining house T, the tallest house, is opposite to S. The color of the house which is exactly opposite
to T is Red. It means the color of S is Red. P, the white-colored house, is taller than R, but shorter
than S and Q. The heights of P, Q, R, and S can be arranged in two ways. One of the ways is {S, Q, P, R} and
another way is {Q, S, P, R}.

 Therefore, {P, U, S} are one side on the road, and {R, Q, T} are on another side of the road. P is opposite
to R, U is opposite to Q and S is opposite to T. These two cases are shown below:

Heights of houses also have two ways which are shown in the table below:

CASE 1 CASE 2

Tallest T-Blue T-Blue

2nd Tallest Q-Green S-Red

3rd Tallest S-Red Q-Green

4th Tallest P-White P-White

5th Tallest R-Yellow R-Yellow

 Smallest U-Orange U-Orange

From the above table,

The color of the tallest house is Blue and the tallest house is T. Therefore, there are four houses taller than R which
are T, Q, S, and P.

Direction: There are 100 doors in a row, all doors are initially closed. A person walks through all doors multiple times
and toggle (if open then close, if close then open) them in the following way:

In the first walk, the person toggles every door

In the second walk, the person toggles every second door, i.e., 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, ...

In the third walk, the person toggles every third door, i.e. 3rd, 6th, 9th, ...

Likewise,

In the 100th walk, the person toggles the 100th door.

Q43. How many doors are open in the end?

A. 10
B. 11
C. 1
D. none

Answer A

A door is toggled in an ith walk if i divide door number. For example, door number 45 is toggled in the 1st, 3rd, 5th,
9th,15th, and 45th walks.
The door is switched back to an initial stage for every pair of divisors. For example, 45 is toggled 6 times for 3 pairs (5,
9), (15, 3), and (1, 45). It looks like all doors would become closed at the end.

However, doors with an odd number of total divisors will remain open. This is because pairs of divisors cancel each
other out, while a single unpaired divisor will leave the door toggled open. The only numbers with an odd number of
factors are perfect squares. For example, in 16, the divisors are (1,2,4,8,16) and as the pair(4,4) contributes only one
divisor making the number of divisors odd, it would become open at the end. Similarly, all other perfect squares like
4, 9,..., and 100 would become open. Now, for prime numbers like 2,3,5,7... the divisors are (1, that number) and it is
a pair, so they will remain closed at the end. And for all other numbers divisors are always in pairs, e.g. 15 =
(1,15),(3,5), they will also remain closed.

Hence door1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100 are open total 10.
Direction: In a one day international cricket match, considering no extras(no wides, no 'no' balls, etc.) and no
overthrows. What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in an ideal case ? Note:"Here we
assume ideal and little practical scenario. We assume that batsman can not run for more than 3 runs in a ball, as
otherwise there is no limit, he can run infinite runs(theoretically) in a ball, as far as opposite team does not catch the
ball."

Q44. What are the maximum runs a batsman can score?

A. 1800
B. 1653
C. 1650
D. 900

Answer: B

Answer: 49*(6*5+3)+(6*6)= 1653 From Over 1 to 49: 1st ball:- 6 runs(hit six) 2nd ball:- 6 runs(hit six) 3rd ball:- 6
runs(hit six) 4th ball:- 6 runs(hit six) 5th ball:- 6 runs(hit six) 6th ball:- 3 runs(took 3 runs between the wickets and
take back the strike) = >49*(6*5+3) 50th Over: Hit six sixes in a row. = >6*6

Direction: You have 15 Rs with you. You go to a shop and shopkeeper tells you price as 1 Rs per chocolate. He also
tells you that you can get a chocolate in return of 3 wrappers.

Q45. How many maximum chocolates you can eat?

A. 15
B. 20
C. 21
D. 22

Answer C

21; Buy and eat 15 chocolates Return 15 wrappers and get 5 more chocolates. Return 3 wrappers, get 1 chocolate
and eat it (keep 2 wrappers) Now we have 3 wrappers. Return 3 and get 1 more chocolate. So total chocolates = 15 +
5+1

Q54.
A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest
of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?

A. 2m
B. 3m
C. 6m
D. None of these
Answer B

Area of the park = (60×40)m2 = 2400m2.

Area of the lawn = 2109m2. Area of the crossroads = (2400−2109)m2 = 291m2.

Let the width of the road be x metres.

Then,60x+40x−x2 = 291 x2−100x+291 = 0 (x−97)(x−3) = 0 x = 3.

Q55. Poles are to be created along the boundary of a rectangular field in such a way that distance between any two
adjacent poles is 1.5 metres. The perimeter of the field is 21 metres and length and the breadth are in the ratio of 4:3
respectively. How many poles will be required?

A. 14
B. 16
C. 15
D. 20

Answer: A

Let the length and breadth be 4x and 3x metres respectively.

2(4x+3x) = 21⇒ 14x = 21 ⇒ x = 21/14 = 1.5

Length = 6m and Breadth = 4.5m.

So number of poles = 14

Q83. A has some coins. He gives half of the coins and 2 more to B. B gives half of the coins and 2 more to C. C gives
half of the coins and 2 more to D. The number of coins D has now, is the smallest two- digit number. How many
coins does A have in the beginning?

a. 76
b. 68
c. 60
d. 52

Answer: d. 52

A has some coins

Let’s solve this step by step:

1. Initial Condition:
– A has x coins
– A gives half of coins plus 2 to B

2. After first transfer (A to B):

– A has: x/2 – 2 coins
– B has: x/2 + 2 coins
3. After second transfer (B to C):
– B gives half plus 2 to C
– B has: (x/2 + 2)/2 – 2 = x/4 – 1 coins
– C has: (x/2 + 2)/2 + 2 = x/4 + 3 coins

4. After third transfer (C to D):

– C gives half plus 2 to D
– C has: (x/4 + 3)/2 – 2 = x/8 – 1/2 coins
– D has: (x/4 + 3)/2 + 2 = x/8 + 7/2 coins

5. Given condition:
– D has smallest two-digit number (10)
– Therefore: x/8 + 7/2 = 10

6. Solve for x:
– x/8 + 7/2 = 10
– x/8 = 10 – 7/2
– x/8 = 6.5
– x = 52

Verification:
– A starts with 52 coins
– B gets 28 coins (26 + 2), A keeps 24
– C gets 16 coins (14 + 2), B keeps 12
– D gets 10 coins (8 + 2), C keeps 6

Answer: A had 52 coins initially

Q84. In the series AABABCABCDABCDE… which letter appears at the 100th place?

a. G
b. H
c. I
d. J

Answer: c. I

Given Series = A (1 Letter) AB (2 Letters) ABC (3 Letters) ABCD (4 Letters) ABCDE (5 Letters) …… so on up to 100th
letter.
Sum of first 13 natural numbers = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ….. 13 = n(n+1)/2 = 13×14/2 = 91.
So, if we have to count upto 100th letter, in the last string (100 – 91) = 9 letters would be there.
Which would be – ABCDEFGHI.
So I is the correct answer.

Q86. The number 3798125P369 is divisible by 7. What is the value of the digit P?

(a) 1
(b) 6
(c) 7
(d) 9
Answer: (b) 6

Problem: Find the digit P in 3798125P369 so that the number is divisible by 7

Step 1: Divide into Three-Digit Blocks (from right to left)

– Write as: 037, 981, 25P, 369
– This splits the number into blocks of three: 037|981|25P|369

Step 2: Apply Alternating Addition and Subtraction Rule

– Start from rightmost block: 369
– Then alternate: 369 – 25P + 981 – 037
– Note: This is based on the divisibility rule of 7 where we alternate adding and subtracting blocks of 3 digits

Step 3: Simplify the Expression

369 – (250 + P) + 981 – 37
= 369 – 250 – P + 981 – 37
= 1063 – P

Step 4: Solve for P Using Modulo 7

– For the number to be divisible by 7:
– 1063 – P must be divisible by 7
– 1063 ÷ 7 = 151 remainder 6
– So, 1063 ≡ 6 (mod 7)
– Therefore: 6 – P ≡ 0 (mod 7)
– This means P = 6

Answer: P = 6

If, In a class 60 of students are from india

Given:
– Total students = 100
– Indian students = 60%
– Foreign students = 40
– Total girls = 50%
– Indian girls = 30% of 60 = 18

Step-by-step solution:
1. Foreign girls = Total girls – Indian girls
= 50 – 18 = 32

2. Foreign boys = Total foreign – Foreign girls

= 40 – 32 = 8

3. Percentage of boys among foreign students

= (8/40) × 100 = 20%

Q88. Every time the ball hits the ground, it bounces back to attain a height 4/5th of the previous height. The ball does
not bounce further if the previous height is less than 50 cm. What is the number of times the ball hits the ground
before the ball stops bouncing?

(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 6
(d) 7
Answer: (b) 5

A boy plays with a ball

Starting height = 1.5 meters

Bounce ratio = 4/5 (ball reaches 4/5th of previous height)
Stop condition = height < 0.5 meters (50 cm)

Height Calculations:

1. Initial Drop: 1.5 meters

2. First Bounce:
Height = 1.5 × 4/5 = 1.2 meters

3. Second Bounce:
Height = 1.2 × 4/5 = 0.96 meters

4. Third Bounce:
Height = 0.96 × 4/5 = 0.768 meters
5. Fourth Bounce:
Height = 0.768 × 4/5 = 0.6144 meters

6. Fifth Bounce:
Height = 0.6144 × 4/5 = 0.49152 meters
(This is less than 50 cm, so ball stops)

Result:
– Ball hits ground 5 times before stopping
– Final height (0.49152 m) is below stopping condition (0.5 m)
– Answer: 5 bounces

Q89. Images of consonants of the English alphabet (Capitals) are observed in a mirror. What is the number of
images of these which do not look like their original shapes?

(a) 13
(b) 14
(c) 15
(d) 16
Correct Answer: (b) 14

Mirror images of consonants of the english alphabet

To determine the number of consonant letters in the English alphabet whose mirror images do not resemble their
original shapes, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Consonants:

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters. The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. Sometimes Y is considered a vowel, but
typically it’s treated as a consonant in such contexts.
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z
Total Consonants: 21

2. Determine Symmetrical Letters:

A letter is considered symmetrical if its mirror image is identical to the original. For capital letters, the following
consonants are symmetrical:

– Symmetrical Consonants: H, M, T, V, W, X, Y
Total Symmetrical Consonants: 7

3. Calculate Non-Symmetrical Consonants:

Subtract the number of symmetrical consonants from the total number of consonants to find the number of non-
symmetrical consonants.

Non-Symmetrical Consonants: 21 (total) – 7 (symmetrical) = 14

Answer: (b) 14
Q90. Integers are listed from 700 to 1000. In how many integers is the sum of the digits 10?

(a) 6
(b) 7
(c) 8
(d) 9

Answer D

Integers are listed from 700 to 1000

The sum of the digits of an integer is 10 if the digits add up to 10. For example, the number 703 has a digit sum of 7 +
0 + 3 = 10. We can find all integers between 700 and 1000 that have a digit sum of 10 by listing them out:

703, 712, 721, 730, 802, 811, 820, 901, 910.

There are 9 integers between 700 and 1000 that have a digit sum of 10. So the correct answer is (d) 9

Q96. If a parallelogram circumscribes a circle, then it is a:

(a) Square

(b) Rectangle

(c) Rhombus

(d) None of the above

Answer: (c) Rhombus

Q97. Two parallel lines touch the circle at points A and B respectively. If area of the circle is 25 n cm 2 2 , then AB is
equal to

(a) 5 cm

(b) 8 cm

(c) 10 cm

(d) 25 cm

Answewr: (c) 10 cm Explanation: Let radius of circle = R ∴ π R 2 𝜋 𝑅 2 = 25 π 25 𝜋 ⇒ R = 5 cm ∴ Distance between two

parallel tangents = diameter = 2 × 5 = 10 cm.

Q98. The length of the tangent from an external point A on a circle with centre O is

(a) always greater than OA

(b) equal to OA

(c) always less than OA

(d) Cannot be estimated

Answer: (c) always less than OA Explanation: Since the tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle, then the
angle between them is 90º. Thus, OA is the hypotenuse for the right triangle OAB, which is right-angled at B. As we
know, for any right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side. Therefore the length of the tangent from an external
point is always less than the OA.
